$10.26Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast is often mistaken for a cheese substitute, but it is more than that. While it is often used in plant-based meals to add a savory cheesy flavor, what it really adds is an umami flavor that can elevate a dish in an instant. So feel free to add it to a mac and cheese recipe, but also feel free to use it even when you are not trying to replace a dish's cheesiness.
I like sauteing vegetables with it, using it in soups, and adding it as a seasoning in salads. Even though it's often advertised as an ingredient for vegans to use, everyone could benefit from both the taste and nutrient profile of this ingredient.
Nutritional yeast is a valuable source of minerals and vitamin B12, which is often low in a plant-based diet. It also contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein!
You will be disappointed if you choose to view nutritional yeast as merely a cheese substitute because, besides slightly mimicking the flavor, it is not particularly similar to cheese. Instead, view it as an ingredient that can add to the comforting flavors of a dish while being good for you!
